Volunteer with the Lions Gate Hospital - Youth Advisory Committee

Hey everyone!

The Lions Gate Hospital Foundation is looking for North Shore youth (16 – 22) volunteers for a Youth Advisory Committee.

This could be an excellent opportunity for a young person to develop fundraising/event/outreach/communications/marketing skills – as well as making some really great contacts in the healthcare, fundraising, and business industries.

Responsibilities are as follows:

·
                     Identify opportunities to involve North Shore youth with the Foundation
·
                     Promote the Foundation’s vision within the North Shore community, serve as an ambassador
·
                     Develop fundraising ideas for current initiatives/campaigns
·
                     Recommend appropriate communications vehicles to target the North Shore, particularly within schools
·
                     Assist with special events where appropriate
This could really pay off for anyone looking to get into a healthcare field, or is interested in fundraising or even in the business world.

  For more information, please see their website:
